Indigenous Mapping Network is proud to present an opportunity to hear Tammie Grant speak on her “Personal Journey with Geospatial Education & Tribal Colleges”, on September 15th, Tuesday, on UC Berkeley campus. Please consider forwarding this news or joining us!
Tammie Grant is a consultant for Tribal Colleges in the area of geosciences and geospatial technologies. She has worked since 2000 with Salish Kootenai College in Education Outreach with college students, middle and high school students and elders on the Flathead Reservation. Salish Kootenai College is located in NW Montana between Missoula and Glacier National Park.
Tammie enjoys working with cultural resources and finding ways to weave technology around traditional thinking. She is most interested in involving tribal youth and elders together to look at natural resources in a way that traditional methods of management links to modern resource management. She is also very interested in international indigenous groups and looking at their resource practices as compared to Native Americans.”
